Carrie Johnson posted a sweet childhood photo of her and her mother Josephine McAffee to celebrate Mother’s Day.
The former Prime Minister’s wife – who turned 35 yesterday – shared this heartwarming image with her 65,000 Instagram followers this afternoon.
The photo – which was taken in the early 1990s – shows the mother and daughter sharing an orange juice.
While Carrie was dressed in a cream cardigan, her mother looked chic in a white blouse and blue knit.
Plus, Carrie seems like the spitting image of her mother — as the two had the same bob when the photo was taken.

Alongside a red heart emoji, the mother-of-two simply captioned the photo: “Mom.”
She is famous for being close to her daughter and is said to have even formed a ‘household bubble’ at 10 Downing Street in lockdown so she can help Carrie and Boris with their children, Wilfred, two, and his daughter Romy, 15 months.
Josephine is a former lawyer who worked for The Independent – that’s how she met Carrie’s father, Matthew Symonds, who co-founded the newspaper in 1986.
The low-key couple welcomed their daughter Carrie on March 18, 1987.
Carrie’s gushing Mother’s Day post comes after she celebrated her 35th birthday yesterday with a visit to Port Lympne Safari Park.
She shared photos of herself feeding a giraffe and petting a rhino at Port Lympne Safari Park in Hythe, Kent.
She also posted images of her two-year-old son Wilfred and one-year-old daughter Romy interacting with the animals on the 600-acre reserve.

Carrie and Wilfred are also pictured with tapirs, an animal which the mother-of-two says is her “new favourite”.
Sharing a snapshot of her day on Instagram, Ms Johnson – who has worked as an environmental campaigner – said: “Back to my happy place for the most wonderful of birthdays.
‘Tapirs are now my new favorite animal. Such a magical place where the animals are truly cared for and many are returned to the wild when they can.
The animal park, where tickets cost £29 for an adult and £26 for a child, is a family favourite, and Carrie has previously been pictured visiting with her son.
Port Lympne says it’s “very different to a conventional zoo” – as they “make sure the animals always come first”.
It is the most successful breeder of clouded leopards and de brazza monkeys in the UK, as well as western lowland gorillas and fishing cats in the world.

Its website reads: ‘We do our best to provide a fantastic visitor experience and are constantly striving to find new ways to ensure we are one of the best days out in Kent, whilst not not forgetting the main reason we are here – to ensure the survival of endangered animals.’
To his ears, the reserve is a breeding sanctuary for rare and endangered species.

The charity aims to return the animals to their natural habitat ‘wherever possible’.
